2. Jessica W.
“I was so nervous to have someone unfamiliar walk my Lilly girl but, Jessica was great and reassured me that she was in good hands! I'm also very thankful for the pictures and update to ease my mind. Will certainly be booking again :)”
3. Olivia B.
“Olivia is great. I definitely will be using her again to walk my pup. She takes great care and great photos. She also communicates very well!”
4. Betty J.
“Betty is a reliable dog lover. She walked my dog morning and evenings for two weeks. She was very observant of my dog's behavior and my dog loved her. He would sit and watch for her car to pull up! I highly recommend her.”
5. Athena S.
“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”
6. Ciara W.
“Ciara is great with our 8 month old goldendoodle! She is always on time for his walks while we're at work and always gives us great feedback with the Rover cards. I would highly recommend her!”
7. Nathan F.
“I could not have dreamed of a more reliable and helpful person to care for my dog! I love Wendell and would not trust him to just anyone. He has been a happy guy during a time when I could not give him the walks he needed.”
8. Michael B.
“I can't recommend Michael enough! From the moment I met him, I knew my pup was in great hands. He really went above and beyond to make sure Axle (my very sweet but also very anxious doggo) felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Michael followed all my instructions to a T and kept me in the loop with regular updates and adorable photos, which totally kept my mind at ease. Michael’s genuine love for animals really shines through and I think Axle may've ended up liking him more than me after playing with him all day! If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Michael's your go-to guy in the area. I’ll definitely be using him again!”
9. Magdalana M.
“Magdalana has been great with my dog, Bella. She promptly responds to messages and is very flexible with scheduling. I feel comfortable with her in my house, walking my dog, and providing optimal care for my pup. 10/10 would recommend.”
10. Jessica W.
“Thank you so much!!”
11. Rhiannon H.
“Rhiannon was amazing with our pups and she was super easy and flexible to work with! I felt comfortable knowing my pups were well taken care of. She was very respectful of our personal space and sent along tons of pics which was an added bonus!”
12. Meagan N.
“Meagan is fantastic with my German Shepherd! She knows exactly how to handle my big guy’s energy. I love getting the updates and photos after each walk. If you're looking for someone who truly gets large breeds and cares for them like their own, I can’t recommend Meagan enough!"”
13. Emilia M.
“Emilia is great with my dog Bucky...I have reviewed her already recently, but just wanted to add, that she has been very helpful, going out of her way, especially when Bucky injured his paw ( bee sting) she took the time to help me determine what the issue was and helped with taking care of it. As I'm disabled it's hard for me to always be able to tell exactly what's going on, and she got right down on the floor and helped find what was sore and helped clean it and put some meds on it, helping it heal quickly. When his sore paw made him extra clingy and not wanting to go far from me, she tightly judged what he needed and brought him back home. He is doing much better due to her help. We appreciate her!”
14. Meadow D.
“Meadow is a very responsible, caring pet lover. She has taken care of many of our animals for years. Most of which have had or still do have medical needs. She is super reliable and always makes sure our pets get their medications as needed. Meadow is the only one we trust with our diabetic dog. All of our animals love her and get excited to see her! We highly recommend Meadow for your pets.”
15. Suzann Z.
“Walked my dog last minute without meeting him/me first. Did exactly what I asked and took him to the local park for an hour during my work day. Would recommend!”
16. Hannah F.
“Hannah is one of the best pet sitters I know. Asked her to watch my family’s dog while we were away and she was sending us pics of her with the dog everytime she could.”
17. Mariah B.
About: I love animals! I've been around a lot of dogs and cats! I'm pretty educated in different needs of different animals and am always willing to learn more. Your pets will be safe and happy with me! I am available most days, with the occasional appointment or activity planned. I'm always willing to work people into my days and can be flexible! I will always make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I am currently only doing house visits and can work with you for whatever you need.
18. Caitlyn P.
“Caitlyn has cared for my Maverick several times, and she's simply the best! She sends adorable updates and pictures while watching him. In fact, Maverick gets so excited to see her that he sometimes even pees himself—just one more sign of how much he loves her. Highly recommend her care!”
19. Olivia D.
“Olivia is super easy going, reliable, and flexible when it comes to anything. Even though our boy Theo can struggle with meeting new people, she was super patient with him and he has warmed up to her a ton! She has been very kind to him and we highly recommend her”
20. Christina G.
